Telia chooses Mind as Internet solution provider
The Internet company Mind, together with 6 other Internet solution
providers, has signed a framework agreement with Telia. This agreement
means that Mind will participate in the development of Telia's interactive
media in web environments.
Telia considered around 60 Internet companies based in Sweden and has
decided to sign agreements with seven of them. Through this agreement,
Mind will play an active role in Telia's development of interactive media
in web environments. Telia is investing SEK 500 million over the coming
years in this field.
"Decisive factors in the final choice of agency were design expertise,
creative ability and cutting-edge technical skills. The agencies' business
knowledge and ability to work methodically also played a significant
role," says Öyvind Ryber, Business Development Manager for Telia's web
project eFocus.
Telia's cooperation with the new web agencies means investment of between
SEK 100 and 150 million in development costs. The agreement is proof for
Mind that the company's strategy has enabled it to make further
breakthroughs in the market.
"This agreement with Telia confirms Mind's strength in business creativity
and as a first-class player in the Internet sector. We base our work on
what we call Internet Management, i.e. we use all of our fields of
expertise. This agreement which we have just entered into with Telia is a
further sign that we have achieved our aim of becoming one of the
strongest providers of Internet solutions in the market," says Jörgen
Larsson, CEO of Mind.
